Medical education

Stryker is always exploring and creating new medical devices. We’re committed to bringing you and your team exceptional educational experiences and world-class support to improve care and optimize results. We listen to the needs of healthcare professionals around the world and develop activities that address evolving clinical and operational challenges.

We offer a full range of learning opportunities and are always developing new, industry-leading education and training resources. Each year, our medical education team trains thousands of healthcare professionals on our neuro, spine, ENT and navigation products. From hands-on laboratory practicums in our Mobile Lab to educational presentations on the most up-to-date medical technologies and care practices, we help you and your team make your skills even stronger.

Sponsored educational events

Product training courses

Our Medical Education team conducts hands-on dissection courses with an emphasis on product training using surgical instrumentation and navigation technology in neuro, spine and ENT procedures. Each course is customized and may include lectures and case discussions with leading clinicians—plus an intensive cadaveric dissection lab.

Mobile Lab

Many of our courses are taught in our Mobile Lab—a larger-than-life experience that puts our operating room innovations at your fingertips. The Mobile Lab is a full-length semi-trailer truck transformed into a teaching theater with room for 40 people. Its eight fully-equipped lab stations give participants close access and hands-on experience with the latest surgical technology. With Mobile Lab, the operating room of the future is parked outside today.

Workshops for OR professionals

These hands-on workshops help participants gain the precision and skill they need to use high-performance surgical instrumentation successfully. Designed for perioperative room nurses, surgical technicians and other healthcare professionals, these courses give participants hands-on instruction in how to assemble, operate and use our advanced surgical instruments in a variety of applications.

“Our otolaryngology residents and staff had a great educational experience in the combined skull base/temporal bone lab. The Mobile Lab equipment and setting allowed our residents to gain more experience with skull base and temporal bone procedures, including middle ear procedures and cochlear implants. Working side by side with our neurosurgical colleagues has strengthened our relationship and our appreciation for each other’s roles in patient care.“
